Agreed.

But I've always wanted to see again a very similar styled XJ-S that I once saw in the back of a British car mag.

Very similar.

Those are, by and large, a LOT more successful than most of the Miata adaptations I've seen.

EDIT: Didn't mean to damn by faint praise. Some of those are beautiful.
